[SML] Looking for very old-school disco light

I am planning on some laser aerial effects (laser beams shining through haze). Which requires me to file a variance. However, I vividly recall an old-school fixture that was a VERY good simulation of the laser fan effect. And since it used a 500 watt tubular quartz lamp, it was eye safe. So, no variance needed.
The fixture consisted of a sheet metal box, the 5" lamp, and 3 lenses. There wasn't even any kind of reflector or fan inside. Just some baffles to control the light. See my attached illustration.
There was eventually a version, called the "Derby", which spun the 5" lamp. A friend modified one by disconnecting the motor, so it would work like the earlier version. Though, this is not like the contemporary version that uses a point source LEDs.
Any ideas where I might purchase one of the original versions? Though, I guess if I were desperate enough, I might just make some, since they were so simple.
